Creating Genius Mix apple tv2

Today I was listening to music on my ATV2 and I wanted to make a genius mix with the song that was playing. The apple tv said to hold down the play pause button on the remote on now playing screen and the genius menu would pop up. I tried numerous time to get it to work and couldn't. I'm I just being stupid, or is this problem not just limited to mine?
